Setting Up Customer Portal and Email Sending Domain
In this article
In this article, we will walk you through how to set up your customer portal and email sending domain using GoDaddy.
Customer Portal Domain
- Log in to YoPrint and go to Configurations > Settings > Overview.
- Navigate to "Customer Portal Domain" and click on the Pencil icon.
- Type out your desired domain name. It is recommended to use portal.(your business name).com. Click on "Save" once done.
- Open up a new tab and go to wherever you've purchased your domain from. For this example, we will be using GoDaddy.
- Click on "DNS" to manage your DNS Records.
- Next, you need to add a DNS Record. Click on "Add New Record".
- For the "Type," you should choose "CNAME." The "Name" would be "portal," and the "TTL" would be the lowest value. In this case, it's "1/2 Hour." Once done, click on "Save".
- Go back to the "Overview" in YoPrint, and you should see that your "Customer Portal Domain" is now online. If you have purchased your domain from a different domain name provider, it can take anywhere from 24-48 hours to be online.
Email Sending Domain
